FORMER national shuttler Lee Chong Wei said he has no plans to involve himself in the world of coaching for now.

The three-time Olympic silver medallist said he has been offered coaching positions, but does not want to venture into that field yet.

The ex-world number one men’s singles player said he wants to stay in the country and enjoy Ramadan bazaars and Aidilfitri open houses.

“It is true that (I) received an offer. Of course I still love badminton, but I do not intend to be a coach at the moment.

“(I) will continue to hang out in Malaysia, attend Ramadan bazaars and wait for (Aidilfitri) open house invitations,” he said on Instagram yesterday.

The media reported that Lee was offered coaching positions from several Asian countries, with former coach Misbun Sidek backing the move.

He announced his retirement in June 2019, after 19 years of making the country famous on the international stage. – Bernama, April 8, 2022.
